Autism Strategy

We want to hear your thoughts on the draft Autism Strategy for Cornwall.

The Cornwall Autism Strategy focuses on people 16 and older who are autistic. It lists the main areas we will work on over the next five years. We created this plan with ideas from Autistic people living in Cornwall.

Our goal is to build on national priorities. We also want to focus on what matters most to autistic people in Cornwall. We want all autistic people to have happy and respected lives.

The strategy highlights seven key priorities. These were created with input from autistic people, local communities, and organisations. This is the start of a five-year plan that will guide how we put these ideas into action.
